Strawberry Fennel Salad

Growing up, my grandparents always served fennel after a meal. I loved it as a kid because it tasted like black licorice. It turns out that it does wonders for your digestive system. I didn’t know it back then, but I’m glad I do now.

 

Ingredients for Salad:

1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
1 medium fennel bulb, trimmed and sliced thin
2 cups of arugula, washed and dried
2 cups of baby spinach, washed and dried
4 oz of feta cheese, crumbled
*optionally, fresh basil leaves for garnish*

 

Arrange the arugula and baby spinach on a serving platter. If you prefer, mix the greens with the dressing before placing it on the serving platter.

 

 

Add the strawberries, fennel, and crumbled fennel on top. Serve with the side of dressing.

 

This fresh and delicious strawberry and fennel salad with feta cheese is so quick, easy, and full of flavor. It’s sure to become a healthy favorite for the summer season.
